Fish biology, ecology, and behavior

Parrots are easily recognized for their dense and colorful plumage, the shape of their beaks and feet, as well as their ability to imitate voices.They can be considered granivorous, fruit-bearing, omnivorous or nectarivorous.Within this great order we find the genus Ara, composed of the largest parrots in the world.In general, they are charismatic, with easy adaptation in captivity, good interaction with man, ability to emit sounds, become great pets and suffer from illegal wildlife trade.These birds, when captive, are afflicted with numerous infectious pathological diseases and the proper management and monitoring of the diet are limiting factors to favor the best quality of life for these animals.In this case study, the recovery of a macaw, Ara macao, with Escherichia coli, left for rehabilitation at the Institute of Marine Biology and Environment, located at Fazenda Palmares-SP, was analyzed.
